Constitutive parameter estimation methodology using tagged-MRI data

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contributionpeer-review

Abstract

We propose a methodology for performing the estimation of a key constitutive parameter in a biomechanical heart model - namely, the tissue contractility - using tagged-MRI data. We adopt a sequential data assimilation strategy, and the image data is assumed to be processed in the form of deforming tag planes, which we employ to obtain a discrepancy between the model and the data by computing distances to these surfaces. We assess our procedure using synthetic measurements produced with a model representing an infarcted heart as observed in an animal experiment, and the estimation results are found to be of superior accuracy compared to assimilation based on segmented endo- and epicardium surfaces.
